[Bug 1455871] biosdevname isn't giving interface names as expected

[Rafael David Tinoco]

I’m glad to hear that. I’ll work on providing the fixes for Trusty,
Utopic, Vivid and Wily. Then I’ll ask for sponsorship for this bug to be
uploaded to -proposed. This will probably happen tomorrow.

Thank you

-Rafael Tinoco

Title:
  biosdevname isn't giving interface names as expected

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in biosdevname package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We see an issue with the biosdevname package that comes with ubuntu
  14.04.2 package version 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.1.

  There is two issue that we see with Mellanox Card that include two ports:
  1- Both ports aren't given interface names with format of "p<num>p<num> (e.g. p514p1) as expected.
  2- Second port isn't given "BIOS device" at all.

  After update the biosdevname to version 0.6.2 we don't see the issue (
  please see below the output of the biosdevname before and after the
  update).

  Could please update the version of the biosdevname package to fix this
  issue.

  
  Output from "biosdevname -d" for biosdevname 0.4.1-0ubuntu6.1, "BIOS device" and "Kernel name" aren't the same.
